W'liKN  1  coiiiinciiccd  tilt"  present  Work  in  l^Ol),  I  did  so  midcr  the  ini|ir('ssiiiii 
tii;it  Jjepidopterists  i^'enerally  \vonhl  be  as  iirateful  1o  me,  for  the  time  and 
ial)()nr  w  Incli  I  devoted  to  it,  as  I  have  always  felt  to  those  who  have  assisted 
in  acenrately  delineatini^  these  heantiful  insects  whieli  all  admire  :  from  May 
1S()5  (when  1  first  beu:an  to  publish  deseri])tions  and  illustrations  of  Exotie 
Lepido])tera),  to  July  1873,  I  had  added  708  'j;ood  species  to  those  previously 
known  to  Science,  of  these  57  Avere  described  lor  the  first  time  in  "  Lepidoptera 
i]xotica";  1  had  i^'ivcn  representations  of  ()7(5  s])ecies,  illustrated  by  8-")  I  figures. 
2'M)  of  wliicli  spi'cies,  illustrated  l)y  ;>-")S  li'^'ures,  had  appeared  in  the  prrsciit 
Work:  notwithstandini^  this,  so  far  from  receiviuii^  the  "blessings"  to  Avhicli 
.1  have  referred  in  my  "  Advertisement, "  I  have  met  with  the  greatest  discour- 
aucment  ;  in  fact,  excepting  from  the  Presidents  of  the  Entomological  Society, 
my  kind  friend  Mr.  Druce,  my  self-sacrificing  publisher  Mr.  Janson,  and  a 
(  lioMii  few  at  home  and  abroad,  my  evening  labours  through  eight  weary 
years  have  elicited  reproaches  rather  than  thanks;  and  this  AVork,  instead  of 
rrceiving  fair  supi)ort  from  Lepidopterists,  has  been  a  burden  both  to  Mr. 
•lanson  and  myself. 

Having  then  given  a  sufficient  reason  why  "  Lepidoptera  Exotica"  sliould 
terminate  with  the  first  volum<>,  I  will  now  proceed  to  give  a  further  explana- 
tion of  the  motives  which  have  induced  me  to  abandon  my  former  Avell-meant 
l)ut  rash  determination  to  figure  all  the  Lepidoptera  w  hich  I  described  : — In 
the  first  place,  I  lound  that,  as  I  advanced  in  the  study  of  the  Order,  I  was 
enabled  by  degrees  to  comprehend  more  easily,  without  the  aid  of  illustrations, 
tile  descriptions  of  others;  and  I  began  to  see  that  figiu-cs  were  not  such  an 
al)s()lute  necessity  as  I  once  imagined  them  to  be:  in  the  second  place,  I  found 
that  so  many  Collections  which  arrived  in  this  country  teemed  with  novelties, 
that  either  many  beautiful  and  distinct  species  must  remain  unnamed  in  our 
cabinets,  or  the  bright  dream  of  figuring  the  whole  of  them  must  be  dissii)ated  ; 
of  these  two  evils  I  w'as  consti-ained  to  choose  the  less,  the  consequence  of 
which  has  been  the  publication  of  several  papers,  containing  numerous  descrip- 
tions of  new  species,  none  of  which   I  have  promised  to  figure,  and  many  of 


which  I  ihoIkiMv  ni'\  it  >.hall  I'murc  :  \\\r  species  which  I  liaxc  (h'--crihcil  ii]i  Id 
tlie  |>reseiit  tiiu(>  aiuoiiut  to  S27,  ol'  tliesc  <)()  have  apijcai-ed  fur  the  lirst  lime  in

It  can.  I  tiiink,  scarcely  l)c  denied  that,  as  a  book  of  rcfei-ence.  this  \\"i)rk 
is  not  entirely  valueless,  when  it  is  considered  that,  in  addition  to  a  complete 
illustrated  Monoi;rai)li  of  the  ucniis  C"/fl(fi\>/ns;  it  contains  representations  of 
no  less  than  117  u'cnera.  se\cral  '>[  them  |ii'e\  imisly  iiiiknoun  to  Science:  1  feel 
therefore,  notwitlistandinu'  the  cnhl  water  which  lias  ln-en  lavislily  cast  ni)on

attractive  branch  nf  l:nt(imoliii;-y. 

[  now  turn  to  the  pleasant  task  of  expressing'  my  uratitude  to  those  -who 
have  kindly  assisted  nie  with  su])|eets  tor  my  illustrations,  foremost  amongst 
whom  I  am  indebted  to  ll(n-bert  Drnee,  I'.sc^.,  W.  A\'ilson  Saunders,  Esq.,  and 
Andrew  Swanzy,  Esq.,  Avho  have  at  all  timi's  allowed  me  to  select  what  1  chose 
fi-dm  their  extensive  Collections,  and  who  have  ever  shown  a  warm  interest  in 
my  AVork  :  my  thanks  are  also  due  to  11.  Ansell,  Esq.,  E.  Brow  u.  1>([.,  'I'.

specimens. 

I  have  iiol  followed  the  plan  adopted  by  Alessrs.  Edwards,  llewitson,  and

enced nuich  dillicully  iu  referring  to  their  descriptions  and  ii^ures  until  the

The  great  necessity  for  rocotjni/able  lii^iires  of  Lepidoptera  is  a  tliiiiiif  whicli, 
in  coiniuon  with  otluM-  working  Entomologists,  I  liave  long  and  diM>2)ly  felt. 
Complex  descriptions  without  illustrations  of  any  kind  to  assist  in  their  deter- 
mination, arc,  to  say  the  least,  a  severe  tax  upon  the  patience  and  ingenuity  of 
all  who  wish  satisfactorily  to  interpret  them. 

That  magnificetit  Woik  wliicli  the  Fki.dkrs  have  so  recently  jjroduced,  from 
the  number  of  its  minutt-ly  exhaustive  descriptions  of  unfigui-ed  species, 
destroys  the  pleasure  which  one  would  otherwise  derive  from  a  contemplation 
of  its  very  beautiful  plates.  The  temptation  to  describe  new  and  striking 
sjiecies,  with  or  without  figures,  is  doubtless  strongly  felt  by  all  who  love  to 
call  the  beautiful  their  own ;  and  in  conunou  with  others,  I  must  plead 
guilty  to  having  been  betrayed  into  it  :  this  is  however  an  error  of  which 
I  have  long  repented,  and  long  desinnl  to  atone  for ;  but  up  to  the  present 
time  no  opportunity  has  offered  of  wliicli  1  could  avail  myself. 

Through  the  kindness  of  yiv.  .Ianson  I  am  at  length  enal)I('d  to  commence 
a  "Work  which  will,  I  trust,  entitle  me  to  those  blessings  which  my  esteemed 
friend  Mr.  IIewitson  has  so  often  assured  me  are  the  reward  of  a  recognizable 
figure.  I  can  only  add  that  it  will  be  my  endeavour  throughout  the  i^'escnt 
undertaking  to  ])roduee  characteristic'  copies  of  the  originals,  and  render  the 
accompanying  descriptions  as  definite  as  possible. 

The  object  of  this  Work,  which  will  be  issued  in  Qiiarlerli/  Parts,  is 
to  give  representations  of  all  such  new  or  little  known  species  as  may  be  con- 
sidered of  sufficient  interest  to  merit  attention.

dLstinclness  of  the  deep  purple  gloss  which  in  certain  lights  overspreads  the  entire  surface  of  the  front

the  form  of  the  front  wings  being  most  like  tlie  former,  the  striation  of  the  wings  more  nearly  resembling 
llie  latter  species  :  six  or  eight  specimens  of  P.  .Minindt  came  in  the  same  collection  from  Mr.  Lowe,

This  wouJerfiil  insect  is  the  finest  of  the  E.  Gemma  group,  of  wliich  it  constitutes  the  third

This  species  looks  somewhat  like  a  large  pale  female  of  E.  Wcstiooodii,  it  however  bears  very 
little  resemblance  to  the  male  of  that  species  :  the  female  of  E.  Jesia  is  in  the  Collection  of  the  British

surfaceof  the  hindwings)  differs  little  from  the  male:  this  insect  differs  from  E.  Westirooiliiiemnlc  in  its 
superior  size,  more  angulated  hindwings,  and  less  strongly  i)ronounced  markings,  wliich  on  the  under-

T.  A'lii'iii'i  ami  T.  C/rupalni  arc  sci  iiiiuli  alikr  upon  tliu  under  surface,  that,  but  for  the;  lutally 
ilitt'erc'Ut  form  of  their  wings,  one  would  ahuost  hesitate  to  consider  them  distinct  species.  Tlie 
distinctions  between  7'.  A'</i>i)i<(  and  T.  Zippara  are  much  more  apparent,  although  these  two  species 
inhabit  the  same  district.  In  the  latter  case,  however,  the  ditt'erences  of  colour  are  chieHj-  contineil 
to  the  upper  surface  of  the  wing,  so  that  we  may,  1  think,  safely  conclude  that  for  some  reason  or 
other  the  retention  of  the  under  surface  coloration  is  'of  importance  to  this  little  group  of  species.  1 
have  no  doubt  that,  when  the  economy  of  tropical  butterflies  is  better  known,  we  shall  discover 
dis"uises  in  very  many  more  of  the  butterfly  patterns  than,  in  oni  jiresent  state  of  ignorance,  we  could 
conceive  possible.  With  regaril  to  the  parallel  resemblances  in  the  ditterent  genera  of  the  Hdiconinw 
two  ideas  have  occurred  to  me,  which,  though  they  may  be  but  "  chiklish  guesses,"  I  think  there  can 
be  no  harm  in  stating.  First,  it  is  within  the  range  of  possibility  that  these  butterflies  were  originally 
modified  to  resemble  certain  flowers,  and  the  latter  subsequently  becoming  e.xtinct,  necessitated  the 
development  of  a  new  protective  agency — namely,  the  acrid  fluid  with  which  the  Heliconinm  are  now 
provided.  In  the  second  place  it  may  be  that  only  one  genus  originally  possessed  the  protective  fluid, 
and  was  the  model  upon  which  the  other  genera  were  formed,  but  since  the  latter  were  then  |n-eserved 
by  their  colours  only,  individuals  must  occasionally  have  been  destroyed  ;  and,  to  the  e.\teiit  of  that 
destruction,  there  was  a  necessity  for  additional  protection  :  thus  a  physical  as  well  as  merely  external 
resemblance  may  have  been  tiie  ultimate  consecjuence.  Two  notes  by  Jlr.  Swainson  in  his  "  Illustra- 
tions" somewhat  confirm  me  in  this  view,  inasmuch  as  he  shows  that  certain  Heliconoid  moths  have 
acciuired  all  the  defences  Kininion  to  liie  buttei flies  which  th(?y  re-semblc.  He  .says, — "  In  their  slow 
rti"ht.  Ion"  transparent  wings,  ami  jironeness  to  imitate  death  on  being  handled,  they  otter  a  most 
beautiful  analogy  to  the  Heliconian  butterflies."  ■' They  fly  slowly  and  heavily  during  the  middle  of 
the  day,  and,  on  the  least  toueli,  enunlcMleil  iliMtli.  M">t  of  the  species,  when  handled,  discharge 
from  their  buily  a  limwn  li(|mir  liki'  their  pn)t(jty|ies  lie-  /f'/;r<„i,'i/(i'."

This  species  is  not  identical  with  Cramer's  C.  Alcmeonc  ;  the  latter  being  a  Xew  World  species, 
and  identical  with  the  C.  iSlutini  S  of  authors.  In  Cramer's  representation  of  his  C.  Juguriha,  the 
iH:elloid  spots  are  more  strongly  dehned  than  in  any  specimens  of  this  insect  which  have  passed 
through  my  hands. 

( 'aptain  A.  M.  Lang  saj-s  that  this  species  frequents  C'tthnrUiearpus  jintitlu,  an  introduced  plant 
ill  nai-dens  of  the  North  Indian  plains,  but  indigenous  to  the  lower  slopes  of  the  Himalayan  ranges, 
2,000  to  5,000  feet  Captain  H.  L.  JJe  la  Chaumette  observed  it  in  gardens  at  Saugor  ;  he  states  that 
it  is  very  fond  of  the  outside  branches  of  the  "  Babool "  (Acacia  arabici)  :  it  is  on  the  wing  from 
Jnlv  to  November.

Male.  Wings  above  sulphur  yellow,  the  apical  area  of  tlie  frontwings  slightly  paler  ;  the  apical 
costa  black,  and  the  ncrvures  towards  the  apc.\  tipjicd  with  bl.ick  :  below,  sulphur  yellow,  the  anal 
area  of  the  frontwings  whitish. 

Female.  Very  like  C.  Kndecr,  but  snialli-r.  yellower,  and  with  tin-  .sulnimininal  .sind.--  nl  llie 
fmntwings  interrupted  in  the  centre.

This  species  may  eventually  turn  out  to  be  an  extreme  form  of  C.  Crncalr.  The  male,  however, 
can  always  Vie  distinguished  from  yellow  specimens  of  that  species  by  its  very  narrow  black  costal 
border.  C.  I'liligeioi,  on  the  contrary,  cannot  be  thus  separated  from  C.  C'uh'll'i,  for  the  latter  species 
varies  immensely  in  this  very  character,  and  the  female  of  C.  I'hieijcnx  not  being  known,  there  remains 
nothing  to  distinguish  it  from  yellow  varieties  of  C.  Cntilii.

This  cannot  be  the  female  of  C.  ThUnreUa  (C.  AmanjUU  F'ibr.).  the  latter  is  a  si)ecies  belonging 
to  the  ne.\t  group,  the  females  of  whi(;h  genei-ally  have  a  deep  black  apical  border  to  the  frontwings  : 
it  is,  I  think,  more  likely  to  be  a  curious  albino  form  of  C.  Gorgophonc,  but  since  it  dilfers  from  tlu- 
latter  in  form  as  well  as  colouring,  I  have  felt  obliged  to  consider  it  a  distinct  species.

C  Scijlln  is  a  much  niori>  varialilc  species  than  C.  Gorr/ophone,  the  males  even  ditl'ering  con- 
siderably both  on  the  iippi-r  and  under  surfac(^s  ;  a  striking  variety  of  this  sex  (which  I  regret  to  say 
cannot  rank  as  a  distinct  species)  has  been  figured  as  C  Etrxin  by  Mr.  Hewitson,  who  gives  the 
following  as  the  characters  by  which  it  may  be  distinguished  from  C.  Sctjlla,  namely,  that  it  is  "  of  paler 
colour  and  spotless  on  the  undersiile."  In  the  British  Museum  wo  have  a  male  agreeing  exactly  with 
Mr.  Ilewitson's  ligure,  from  Port  Essington;  a  second  from  X.  Australia,  which  has  both  of  the 
characters  mentioned  above,  Lut  dilfers  from  C.  Elesia  in  having  the  black  border  of  the  ujiper  surface 
dentate-sinuate  as  in  C.  Sci/lla ;  and  a  third  from  Champion  Bay,  which  has  the  black  border  of 
' '.  Elcatd  but  the  under  surface  of  C.  IScyllu,  tlie  markings  being  all  strongly  delined.  Even  the  brighter 
golden  orange  upon  the  upper  surface  of  the  hindwings  will  not  serve  to  distinguish  this  form,  since  the 
specimens  from  Cidebes  are  generally  darker  in  tint  than  those  from  Java ;  and  a  female  in  Mr. 
Wallace's  collection  from  Lomboek  has  the  hindwings  of  tlie  same  tint  with  that  of  C.  Etesin. 

Eabricius  describes  his  C.  tjornrlla  as  "  alls  rotundatis  intcgerrimis  fulvis  :  anticis  sujira  albis, 
margine  nigi-o.  Habitat  Tranquebaria;,'"  thus  discriiuiiiatiiig  between  it  and  his  C.  Sct/tht,  the  description 
of  which  1  have  given  under  C.  Goir/ojilioiic 

The  larva  of  G.  Scijlla,  according  to  Dr.  llorslield,  feeds  on  various  sjiecies  of  Cassia,  particularly 
''.  Fistula  and  C.  Ohtmifolia,\)\x\,  is  occasionally  found  on  other  plants.  It  is  most  abundant  in  the 
.?arly  part  of  the  rainy  season. 

The  larva  and  ])upa  are  figured  on  ])1.  1  of  llic  lirst  vohinn'  of  llorslield  and  Moore's  Catalogue  of 
the  Lepidoptera  of  the  East  India  Company.

as  yellowish  green  with  a  black  and  yellow  lateral  stripe,  the  i)upa  rests  seven  days,  this  species  has

is  abundant  amongst  rank  and  ovei-grown  herbage. 

The  variety  I'.  lien  of  Fabricius  differs  from  the  typical  form  on  the  uppcrside,  in  its  extremely 
narrow  marginal  border,  below  in  its  uniform  colouring  and  more  distinct  disco-cellular  .spots  :  the  race

Dr.  IJdi.-iduval  in  all  probability  followed  Faliricius,  when  describing  the  female  of  his  C.  Floivlht, 
but  had  he  po.ssessed  the  same  opportunitj' that  I  have  of  examining  the  Fabrician  type,  he  would  have 
discovered  that  the  true  FloreUu  was  a  faded  and  worn  female  of  his  C.  Rhadin  ;  in  fiict,  Swainson  is 
l)erfectly  in  the  right  when  he  says  that  the  .sexes  of  his  V.  Pyrnie  are  identical  in  j)attern  and 
colouration. 

The  Fabrician  description  of  C.  F/om/la  says  "alls  posticis  subtus  punctis  tribus  argenteis"  which 
would  at  once  distinguish  it  from  the  female  of  C.  Pt/rciir.

from  the  inner  to  the  anterior  margin  of  the  wing,  and  are  stated  to  be  ten  in  number,  whilst 
Calliiln/(ix,  the  most  nearly  allied  genus,  is  said  to  have  nine;  the  actual  difference  in  neuration  between 
the  two  genera  is  one  of  position,  not  of  number ;  some  of  the  diameters  distinguishing  I'ti/r/iopti'ii/.i- 
from  Culli'lri/it-i,  when  put  into  the  usual  form,  are  good,  others  bad  ;  for  instance,  the  character  of 
a  patch  of  line  bristles  at  base  of  hindwings,  is  common  to  CalUJri/ut:  (See  Drury  on  C.  ('hrijKii.i 
and  Trimen  on  ('.  Fliri'lla)  ;  the  costal  nervure  of  hindwings  much  arched  ;  the  lii-st  subcostal 
arched,  emitted  from  centre  of  its  neryure,  and  running  to  apex  ;  the  straight  fold  from  base  through 
whole  length  of  cell  and  between  di.seoidal  and  third  median  branches  to  outer  margin,  are  all 
cliaract<'rs  common  to  CulUdri/ttx :  the  following  good  characters  remain  :  —

Lepidopterists  to  be  varieties  of  the  same  species,  but  I  am  convinced  from  a  careful  examination  of 
many  examples  of  both  sexes  of  the  two  forms,  that  they  are  perfectly  distinct :  R.  Losinga  is  a  third

Tliia  novelty  is  of  great  interest  from  tho  fact  of  its  belonging  to  a  small  but  conspicuous  genus 
uf  the  Chanuces  group ;  I  have  therefore  felt  great  pleasure  in  naming  it  after  its  cajjtor,  Mr.  Herbert 
T.  Ussher,  the  present  Administrator  of  the  Gold  Coast ;  I  must  hero  also  take  tlie  oi)i)ortunity  of 
acknowledging  my  obligations  to  Jlr.  Swanzy  for  tho  use  wliich  he  has  so  frequently  allowed  me

Tho  above  species  is  perfectly  distinct  from  Cramer's  P.  Dcciiis,  which  M.  Lucas  describes  at

intended  to  make  it  correspond  to  some  extent  with  his  description,  which  is  probably  a  compilation.

exhibit  a  transverse  disco-cellular  brick-red  mark,  divided  bj'  yellow  nervures ;  the  hindwings  with  a

I  have  examined  specimens  from  the  following  localities  : —

Saunders ;  Jladagascar,  Coll.  T.  De  Grey. 

Dr.  Boisduval  seems  to  be  the  only  Lepidopterist,  who  has  been  favoured  witli  a  sight  of  the 
male  of  this  species,  it  is  in  none  of  the  collections  to  which  I  have  access,  and  (so  far  as  I  can  judge 
from  the  writings  of  Messrs.  Trimen,  Wallengren,  and  others),  has  not  made  its  appearance  since  the 
publication  of  the  Species  GiSneral ;  indeed  Dr.  Wallengren,  in  the  Svenska  Handlingar,  evidently 
■•■'nsiders  the  male  C.  Pijrene  to  be  that  sex  of  C.  Florella. 

In  the  Species  General,  Dr.  Boisduval,  described  the  typical  female,  C.  Florella  (under  its  true 
name),  as  the  female  of  C.  Pyrene,  in  all  probability  compiling  his  description  from  that  of  Fabricius : 
Mr.  Trimen  in  his  "  Rhopalocera  Africaj  Australis"  translated  Dr.  Boisduval's  description,  with  the 
following  remark  : — "  Having  only  seen  males  of  this  species,  I  am  obliged  to  borrow  the  above 
description  of  the  female  from  M.  Boisduval's  work  ;"  under  the  localities,  however,  I  find  "  Interior 
of  South  Africa,  Sierra  Leone,  St.  Vincent  (Cape  Verd  Islands). — Coll.  Brit.  Mus.,"  which  proves  to 
me  that  my  friend  Trimen,  (like  Mr.  Doubleday  and  myself),  was  under  the  inlluence  of  the  Boisdu- 
vahan  description,  when  he  examined  the  Museum  specimens  (See  localities  at  p.  44  of  this  work). 
In  a  foot-note  to  the  same  page,  however,  Mr.  Trimen  says,  "A  $  of  Florella,  in  Mr.  D'Urban's 
collection  confirms  Mr.  Swainson's  statement,  being  identical  in  colour  and  marking  with  the  (J  ;"  I 
mention  the  above  facts  to  explain  a  note  in  my  Fabrician  Catalogue,  which  Mr.  Trimen,  in  his  paper, 
recently  read  before  the  Entomological  Society,  seems  to  have  misunderstood  ;  at  p.  224,  I  observed 
"  The  female  is  much  like  a  large  pale  variety  of  the  C.  Rlmdia  of  Mr.  Doubleday's  List ; "  unfor- 
tunately the  sheet  was  printed  off  before  I  discovered  my  error,  which  I  corrected  in  the  next  page, 
"  Callii.lrijas  Eliiulia,  Boisd.  (Florella  Fabr. )  ;"  I  had  no  intention  of  suggesting  the  identity  of  two 
apparently  so  distinct  species,  as  C.  Pyrcve  and  C.  Florella,  nor  do  I  now  think,  considering  the 
totally  diJlerent  colouring  and  pattern  of  the  two,  and  the  fact  that  the  sexes  of  both  have  been 
described,  that  the  capture  of  a  single  ill-assorted  pair  is  a  sufficient  reason  for  uniting  them  as  modifica- 
tions of  one  variable  form  :  I  cannot  help  thinking  that  the  intermediate  form  mentioned  by  Mr.  Trimen 
must  have  been  C.  Thaurama.

Signer  Bertoloni  received  C  Florella  $  from  Inhainbano,  and  observing  its  near  resemblance  to 
the  P.  Afairrlliiia  of  Cramer,  came  to  the  conclusion  that  the  latter  species  was  indigenous  to  the  east 
coast  of  Africa. 

Mt.  Trimen  remarks  (Rhop.  Afr.,  Austr)  : — "  I  once  saw  this  butterfly  at  Knysna,  on  the  11th  of 
March,  1859,  flying  rajjidly  over  the  marshes  near  the  river.  I  chased  it  for  some  time,  but  when  close 
upon  it,  by  an  unlucky  fall  gave  the  insect  time  for  so  long  a  start,  that  it  was  useless  to  try  further 
pursuit.  An  aged  specimen  of  the  female,  from  the  same  locality  was  given  me  by  a  lady  who  took  it 
there  some  years  ago.     The  insect  is  cons]iicuous  in  flight,  owing  to  its  bright-yellow  colour." 

The  chrysalis  figured  was  sent  with  the  pirfoct  insect  from  Sierra  Leone  by  llr.  Foxcroft.

Ur.  Boisduval  rightly  observes  that  tlic  indiviihials  from  North  America  have  the  wings  less 
rounded  than  those  from  South  America,  but  I  cannot  agree  with  him  in  considering  the  Southern 
form  a  local  variety  of  C.  EuhuJe,  I  would  rather  call  it  a  representative  form  of  the  latter,  since  the 
female  differs  constantly  in  its  smaller  size,  deeper  or  paler*  colouring,  and  more  strongly  defined 
markings. 

Messrs.  Smith  and  Abbot  figure  both  sexes  of  C.  Euhiile  in  their  "  Lepidopterous  Insects  of 
Georgia,"  with  the  food-plant  Cassia  chamw-crista  ;  they  call  attention  to  "  the  conformity  of  colours 
between  the  flowers  of  this  plant,  and  the  fly  bred  upon  it ; "  the  following  observations  on  the  transfor- 
mations of  this  (figured  on  the  plate)  are  added "  one  of  them  spun  itself  up  the  30th  of  August, 

changed  the  next  day,  and  the  perfect  insect  appeared  September  10th;  another  spun  on  the  23rd 
of  September,  changed  the  24th,  and  came  out  on  the  Gth  of  October.

si'urcfly  be  the  female  of  C.  Orhis  since  it  does  not  possess  the  clmracters  common  to  the  Oodarlinnnx 
group,  and  also  because  the  true  female  of  C.  Orhis  is  in  Mr.  Druce's  Collection  from  Cuba,  and  is 
perfectly  distinct  in  form,  n)arking,  and  coloration. 

The  C.  YamaiM,  of  Rcakirt,  is  described  as  being  nearly  allied  to  C.  Pyrnuthe  to  which  it  bears 
considerable  resemblance  ;  indeed,  I  am  informed  by  Mr.  Edwards,  of  West  Virginia,  who  has  kinilly 
eommunicaled  with  Mr.  Reakirt  respecting  the  species,  that  the  description  of  C  Yamana  was  delayed 
until  the  arrival  of  a  second  e.\aniple  from  the  same  locality,  in  order  that  Mr.  Reakirt  wight  be  sure  of 
the  correctness  of  its  hal)itat  ;  under  these  circumstances  I  could  not  well  have  referred  it  to  C.  Scnim 
had  I  not  received  evidence  which  leads  rae  to  suspect  that  that  species  has  not  been  correctU 
identiKed  by  American  authors. 

It  is  not  impossible  that  C.  Ynmana  may  be  an  alliino  female  of  C.  Dnjn  or  C.  Trite,  either  of 
which  would  bear  a  close  resemblance  (especially  on  the  upper  surface)  to  C.  Pijranthe,  however 
without  examining  the  type,  or  a  figure  of  it,  it  is  impossible  to  do  more  than  guess  at  the  relations 
of  the  sjiccies. 

])r.  IJoisduval,  in  his  Hist.  (U:i\.  Lup.  Am.  Sept.  remarks  that  the  P.  Senuce  of  Linna-us  is  a 
variety  of  C.  EuhuJe  which  has  no  black  points  at  the  extremity  of  the  frontwings  ;  this  is  far  from 
being  the  case,  since  C  Scnum  invariably  has  the  black  spots  well-defined  whilst  in  C.  Eiibule  they  arc 
often  entirely  wanting.  JIany  naturalists  seem  to  have  observed  the  close  resemblance  existing 
between  C.  Sfinna:  and  C  Marcellenu  yet  almost  all  have  agreed  in  separating  them  as  distinct  species  ; 
thus,  Mr.  James  Duncan  in  his  ^'aturalist's  Librarj',  vol.  5,  p.  122,  says  that  C  Euhule  {\\\nc\i  most 
old  authors  considered  synonymous  with  C.  Senmc)  "  so  closely  resembles  C.  M(a-ccllina  that  it  is 
possible  they  would  still  have  continued  to  be  confounded,  as  they  were  by  the  earlier  entomologists, 
had  not  the  different  appearance  of  the  caterpillar  in<lioated  their  essential  distinction  ;  "  he  describes 
the  caterpillar  of  C.  EubiiJe  as  "green,  covered  with  small  black  granules,  and  having  a  yellow  line 
along  each  side,  surmounted  by  another  of  a  blue  colour.  Donovan,  however,  tells  us  that  "  the 
specific  character  of  Pajjilio  Soma'  consists  chiefly,  according  to  Linnpeus,  in  having  the  double  spot  in 
the  centre  of  each  wing  of  a  feri'iiginous  colour,  while  in  Papilio  Marcellina  that  characteristic  mark 
has  the  exact  appearance  of  two  approximating  spots  of  molten  silver.  The  tips  of  the  wings  arc 
sometimes  spotted  as  in  Marcellina,  and  are  sometimes  destitute  of  spots  : "  Herbst,  with  more 
shrewdness  than  either  of  the  above  worthies  obseives  that  "  P.  Senna'  is  so  like  P.  Marcellina  that  it 
can  scarcely  be  regarded  as  a  distim-t  siiecics." 

Sep])  in  his  figure  of  Papiliu  IIi/j)i;riei  omits  the  black  border  on  outer  margin  of  frontwing.s,  but 
on  the  under  surface  figure,  which  also  shows  part  of  the  upper  surface,  this  border  is  put  in  :  he  gives 
the  following  account  of  the  transformations,  "  It  was  on  the  1st  of  March  that  we  found  this 
cateipillar,  of  a  blui.sh  green  and  s])eckled,  on  the  underside  of  the  leaves  of  the  plant  which  at 
•Surinam  bears  the  Dutch  nanie  of  Ivingwornikruid  ;  as  it  appeared  to  us  to  be  full  grown  we  ex- 
pected soon  to  see  it  change  to  a  chrysalis,  indeed,  four  days  afterwards  it  began  to  fix  its  body  and 
spin  a  transverse  band  over  it ;  after  its  colour  had  been  altered  to  a  shining  and  transparent  green, 
on  the  following  day  it  changed  into  a  red  chrysalis  prettily  striped  with  yellow,  nine  days  afterwards 
the  butterfly  onii^rged  from  it." 

Under  C.  Eubule  Sepp  gives  us  a  second  ai'cuunt  tlius  :  "The  green  caterpillar  of  our  ])]ate  very 
iMUih    resembles   the  cateriiillars  of  tiie  cabbage  Ijulterlly  of  Europe,  and  is  scarcely  less  eouimon  tlian

them,  it  lives  on  the  leaves  of  the  llijpfrinim  bacelfirum,  known  in  Surinam  under  the  name  of 
Ringwurrakruid,  and  on  various  sjiccies  of  Cagsin  ;  it  is  met  with  at  various  times  of  the  year,  it  grows 
rapidly  and  does  not  change  colour  until  about  to  undergo  its  mctaiuorphnsis.  then  it  assumes  a  shining 
yellowish  tint,  the  chrysalides  are  either  red  or  green." 

The  most  quaint  descri])tion  of  C.  Sennce,  in  all  its  stages  is  to  bo  found  in  SK.an's  History  of 
Jamaica  (p.  212,  172r>)  as  follows — 

The  Common  Yellow  Caterpillar. 

"  Its  bigness  is  as  that  of  a  goose-quill,  it   is  about  an  inch  long,  of  a  yellowisli  colour,  haviiij.' 
here  and  there  black  spots  on  it,  after  it  attains  it,s  duo  growth  it  becomes  the — 
AuRKLiA  Triangularis  Purpurea,  Lineis  Lutkis  Ndtatis, 
The  Common  Triaxqclar  Aurelia. 

This  is  almost  triangular,  about  half-an-inch  long,  and  one-fourth  part  of  an  inch  broad  at 
broadest,  having  here  and  there  some  angles  and  eminences,  and  is  sharp  at  both  ends  ;  it  is  of  a 
purple  colour  with  some  j-ellow  streaks.  When  the  worm  or  catei pillar  has  fed  itself  full,  it  creeps  U- 
a  place  free  from  wind,  and  there  fa-stens  one  end  to  the  under  part  of  a  stone,  twig,  &c.,  and  the  other 
end  hangs  in  a  string  like  that  of  a  spider's  web.  where  it  takes  this  figure  and  comes  out — 
The  Common  Yellow  Butterfly. 

Tliis  was  about  an  inch  long  from  the  head  to  the  tail,  about  twice  as  much  from  wing  to  wing 
.'xtended ;  it  had  six  feet,  three  of  each  side,  it  had  two  brown  antennve,  three  quarters  of  an  inch  long 
went  out  of  its  brown  head,  and  two  large  brown  globular  eyes.  It  had  hanging  out  of  its  moutli  a 
long  spiral  twirling  Proboscis,  of  a  brown  colour ;  the  body  was  covered  over  with  a  long  yellow  down 
and  the  wngs  with  a  shorter,  there  were  in  the  middle  part  of  each  of  the  four  wings,  two  silver  spots 
or  eyes,  inclosed  in  a  brown  circle,  or  Iris,  besides  several  other  brown  spots  or  lines,  here  and  there, 
especially  on  the  margin  of  the  wings  on  the  upper  sides.  On  that  pair  of  wings  nearest  to  the  head, 
or  the  upper  ]>air,  were  by  the  outside,  two  brown  spots  as  big  as  a  large  pin's  head. 

The  Krncn  of  this  butterfly  above  described,  Xo.  1,  feeds  on  what  they  call  here  Wild  Indign. 
They  are  the  most  common  of  all  butterflies." 

The  figures  accompauying  the  above  description  are  tliose  iiuoted  by  Linna?us  for  his  C.  Seniue.

The  above  may  be  nothing  more  than  a  variety  of  C.  Sennw,  but  at  present  I  have  not  siitticient 
"vidence  to  allow  me  to  form  a  definite  opinion  as  to  their  identity  or  non-identity  so  that  I  am  obliged 
to  kee])  them  separate:  Dr.  Herrich-Schiiflor  remarks  (Corr.  Blatt,  d.  Zool.  min.  Ver.  Kegensberg, 
p.  16'J,  n.  C,  1864),  "  It  will  surely  be  no  longer  doubted  that  Marcellina  and  Drija  Boisd.,  are  not 
specifically  distinct,"  he  does  not  liowever  state  his  reasons  for  arriving  at  this  conclusion. 

In  Madame  Merian's  Insects  of  Surinam,  a  female  Cullidnjos  is  figured  (which  appears  to  be 
C.  Drijii)  concerning  the  metamorphoses  of  which  the  following  remarks  are  made — "  The  yellow 
caterpillai-s  ate  the  leaves  ("  Zoeteboontjes")  they  had  black  feet  and  black  spines  on  the  back  ;  I  have 
had  more  than  a  hundred,  which  all  died,  because  the  leaves  of  this  tree  become  hard  and  dry  as  soon 
iis  they  are  broken  off,  and  therefore  cannot  be  eaten  by  the  cater])iUars  ;  however,  I  had  one  on  the 
IGlh  .June,  1770,  which  became  a  pupa  similar  to  the  one  at  the  end  of  the  tendril,  and  at  tlie  end  of 
. I  line  came  out  a  beautiful  butterfly  like  the  one  which  is  here  represented  flying  and  at  rest."

The  male  of  this  species  is  wretchedly  ligurcd  in  Donovan's  Insects  of  India  (pi.  3G,  tig.  I)  as 
P.  Cocnlia,  and  I  am  glad  of  an  opportunity  of  figuring  the  two  sexes  together.  The  Fabrician 
diagnosis  of  the  female,  given  above,  is  somewhat  vague ;  the  "  punctis  quatuor  ocellaribus  llavis " 
probably  refers  to  the  four  indistinct  ocellations  nearest  to  the  apex  of  hindwings.  The  fuller 
description  says,  "  Posticse  fulvaj  punctis  quatuor  oblongis  flavis  pupilla  nigra,  versus  marginem 
striga  obsoleta,  fusca,"  &c.  It  is  possible  that  these  ocellated  markings  were  better  defined  in  the 
Fabrician  type.  We  have  a  poor  specimen  of  the  female  in  the  Collection  of  the  British  Jfuseum 
from  Ashanti :  I  formerly  supposed  the  male  to  be  the  £.  Thcofjnis  of  llewitson,  which  now  proves 
to  be  a  distinct,  but  nearly  allied  species ;  the  first  words  of  the  Fabrician  description,  "  Statura 
omnino  pnccedciitis,"  show  the  near  relationship  between  his  P.   Cocalia  and  P.   Mardania.

Pantee,  Cape  Coast  (U.s.sfier).     Coll.  Swanzy. 

This  magnificent  species  is  iutciineJiatc  between  i>.  Luclna  and  li.  lunuluia  ;  it  belongs  to  tho 
most  elaborately  ornamented  genus  of  the  Saiurni'uhv,  and  in  many  of  its  markings  forcibly  reminds 
one  of  the  Argus  pheasant  among  birds  ;  the  disposition  of  the  bands  on  the  basal  area  of  the 
frontwings  produces  an  effect  very  siniihir  to  tlmt  seen  on  the  feathers  of  many  pheasants,  whilst 
the  submaigitial  spots,  delicately  shaded  so  as  to  resemble  shells  of  the  genus  Ci/prcea,  and  bounded 
internallj'  by  a  series  of  wavy  black  bars,  produce  an  effect  scarcely  surpassed  bj'  the  ball-and-socket 
feathers  of  the  Argus  pheasant  (See  Darwin's  Descent  of  !Man,  and  Selection  in  Kelation  to  Sex, 
Vol.  ii.,  p.  143,  fig.  56).  Speaking  of  the  probable  development  of  the  ball-and-socket  ocelli  through 
the  agency  of  sexual  selection,  Jlr.  Darwin  remarks, — "  No  one,  I  presume,  will  attribute  the  shading, 
which  has  excited  the  admiration  of  many  experienced  artists,  to  chance — to  the  fortuitous  concourse 
of  atoms  of  colouring  matter."  "  In  order  to  discover  how  the  ocelli  have  been  developed,  we  cannot 
look  to  a  long  line  of  progenitors,  nor  to  various  closely  allied  forms,  for  such  do  not  now  exist.  But, 
fortunately,  the  several  feathers  on  the  wing  suffice  to  give  us  a  clue  to  the  problem,  and  thej-  jirove  to 
demonstration  that  a  gradation  is  at  least  possible  from  a  mere  spot  to  a  finished  ball-and-socket 
ocellus." 

Now,  as  with  the  Argus  pheasant,  the  wing  of  my  Bmhmaia,  in  its  several  internervular 
divisions,  exhibits  a  gradation  which  is  a  complete  key  to  the  development  of  the  egg-like  spots  near 
the  outer  margin  ;  the  anal   sjiots  of  the  frontwings  and   tlie  ai>ical  .spots  of  the  hindwings  remain 


r.VMILY   SATURNIID.E.  79 

almost  in  their  primitive  condition,  and  prove  that  the  beautifully  shaped  ocelli  arc  the  result  of  the 
iiiodilication  of  three  of  the  discal  bands  witii  their  interspaces  ;  tlie  central  band  is  widened  and  toned 
down  in  colour,  and  the  irregularities  of  the  two  outer  bands  modified  into  a  regular  arch,  and  then  wc 
get  ocelli  such  as  the  fourth  on  the  frontwings  ;  now  comes  tiie  most  difficult  point — the  introduction 
of  light,  but  looking  at  the  third  ocellus  of  the  hindwings  we  see  the  internervular  fold  of  a  whitey- 
brown  colour  which  Ixjcoraes  white  in  the  fourth  ocellus,  is  modilied  into  a  small  white  spot  in  the 
hfth,  and  into  a  large  elongate  spot  in  the  sixth ;  thus  we  see  that,  if  necessary,  the  three  black  bands 
with  their  interspaces,  immediately  following  the  central  white  band,  could  as  c;jsily  be  modilied  into  a 
second  scries  of  oviform  ocelli. 

But  now  the  question  arises — Is  there  any  Bra/nnivn  entirely  destitute  of  these  remarkable 
ocellations  ?  To  this  I  can  only  reply  that  at  present  I  do  not  know  of  any ;  it  is  however  an 
imjjortiint  fact  that  li.  Swanzii  and  li.  Litciwi  are  the  only  species  that  have  brought  them  to 
perfection,  wliilst  in  Brahnuca  luniilafft  they  are  entirely  wanting  to  the  hindwings  ;  in  li.  Orthia  and 
B.  W/iilvi  they  appear  to  have  been  produced  by  the  modification  of  two  only  of  the  discal  bars,  and 
therefore  more  nearly  resemble  drops  of  dirty  water  than  oviform  ocelli. 

Supposing  that  the  above  ocelli  have  been  produced  by  sexual  selection,  as  I  am  inclined  to 
believe,  from  the  fact  that  there  are  slight  differences  between  those  of  the  male  and  female  in  Ji. 
Certhi'i  (the  only  species  of  which  I  have  seen  both  sexes),  I  can  conjecture  how  this  action  may  have 
come  into  play  :  it  will  be  clear,  at  least  to  every  artistic  eye,  that  the  ocelli  upon  the  opposite  wings 
are  lighted  up  from  opposite  directions,  and  therefore,  taken  together,  are  incorrectly  shaded  ;  it  is  also 
manifest  that,  not  only  would  some  of  the  ocelli  be  hidden  when  the  moth  was  at  rest,  but  in  that 
condition  it  could  never  charm  its  partner ;  however,  the  habits  of  many  of  the  day-flying  moths,  .to 
which  this  genus  in  all  probability  belongs,  have  guided  me  to  what  I  think  may  be  the  correct 
solution  of  the  difficulty — the  females  of  many  of  these  moths  when  fresh  remain  motionless,  whilst 
their  admirers,  sometimes  in  numbers,  fly  round  them ;  very  many  moths  when  approaching  the  female 
swing  up  and  down  with  a  pendulum  motion  behind  her,  gradually  shortening  the  movement  as 
they  near  the  prize  ;  in  this  kind  of  flight  the  female  would  only  see  two  wings  perfectly  at  the  end  of 
each  swing,  and  it  would  be  desirable  that  these  wings  should  be  correctly  shaded,  as  wouM  be  the 
case  with  Bntlimiva  Sicniizii. 

I  am  doubtful  about  the  accuracy  of  the  white  markings  in  the  central  black  patch  of  the  front- 
wings,  the  specimen  from  which  I  took  my  figure  being  somewhat  rubbed. 

A  curious  coloured  ocellus  in  course  of  formation  may  be  seen  in  fig.  3  of  the  same  jilate,  whilst 
on  pi.  xxxi.  fig.  1,  an  interesting  alierration  of  Roiifikosonui  CerM,  in  which  most  of  the  usual  black 
spots  are  converted  into  glossy  blue,  has  retained  two  of  these  spots  in  a  transitional  state,  and  thus 
given  us  a  clue  to  the  probable  development  of  the  ordinary  ocelli  so  common  on  S'lii/ridiaii  butterflies, 
and  to  the  origin  of  the  ring-like  markings  in  the  discoidal  cell  so  universal  in  the  allied  genera

(Iviiade-t,  was  at  firet  characterised  by  Dr.  IIerricli-Scha;ffer  as  a  variety  of  C.  Thaledrix.  Hi.s  description 
nms  ivs  follows : — "  Nearly  allied  to  T/ialciirin,  same  size  and  contoiu',  black  central  spot  of  frontwings 
smaller,  encircled  with  orange  red,  which  circling  is  connected  upon  the  subcostal  with  the  larger,  less 
sharply  defined,  glowing  red  central  patch,  wliich  reaches  as  far  as  the  broad  orange  margin. 

The  hindwings  are  glowing  orange  gradually  becoming  darker  towards  the  suddenly  Ijrighter 
margin ;  no  black  spots  on  the  margin. 

Underside  agrees  better  with  im/mitr,  it  is  orange,  finely  and  densely  dusteil  with  lake-red,  the 
.spots  of  similar  more  clo.soly  packed  dustings,  both  the  silver  .spots  arc  as  small  as  in  llubner's  brighter 
figure." 

In  the  above  description  I  have  only  one  fault  to  find — tlie  circling  of  the  black  spot  is  connected 
with  the  larger  central  patch  upon  the  lower  disco-cellular,  and  not  on  the  subcostal  nervure.  I  mercly 
mention  this  because  it  put  me  out  considerably  when  determining  the  species. 

"  H.  Gundlach  found  several  examples  of  both  species  (C.  Avellaneda  and  C  Thahinfrix),  without 
intermediates,  in  some  places  more  of  one,  in  others  of  the  other  species.  I  have  more  accurately 
defined  the  male  in  Gorrbl.  1862,  p.  119,  under  7Vi(//''«/*v'.<.  1  am,  however,  sorry  to  say  that  I  have 
not  yet  received  the  female."      H.  >Sch.  in  Corrbl.    1864.

This  Ijuing  a  female  of  the  Marmax  group  and  the  sexes  of  the  tawny  C'/iaraxiv  being  alike,  it  is 
uvidently  .specifically  distinct  from  C.  Pajnieima  ^ :  many  of  the  above  forms  of  Cliaraxes  liavo  doubt- 
less long  existed  in  Collections  as  supposed  varieties  of  C.  Polyxoia,  there  lieing  a  prevailing  prejudice 
in  the  minds  of  many  Lepidopterists  against  the  existence  of  nearly  allied  species  in  a  group  of  sucli 
bulky  butterflies  as  Clianucs  ;  however,  distinctions  founded  simjily  upon  amount  of  difference  are  sure 
at  times  to  mislead,  they  arc  doubtless  productive  of  confusion  in  that  they  lead  their  advocates  to  unite 
several  constant  forms  under  one  name,  and  in  defence  thereof  to  utter  snch  vague  Hibernianisms  as  the 
fiillowing — "it  is  very  possible  that  varieties  coming  from  Para,  Brazil,  New  timnada,  Ecuador,  iVc 
may  bo  distinct  species,"  tliey  are  also  the  cause  of  endless  inconsistencies  in  that  they  have  no  limit-s  : 
loiistancy  therefore  is  the  only  sure  guide,  and  since  a  species  cannot  be  more  than  diMind,  however 
dificrent  it  may  be,  to  ask  why  it  is  distinct  is  to  wander  out  of  the  fields  of  nomenclature  into  those  of 
nat\uc  and  philosophy,  a  local  form  therefore  is  .systematically  a  species ;  it  is  moreover  a  .species 
iiidiiriillij.  for  the  best  test  of  a  si)ecies  is  its  disinclination  to  hybridize  with  its  allies,  which  a  lucal  form

riinnot  do,  whilst  what  is  called  a  tnio  sj^'cii-s  might  ilo  it  Init  will  not,  hence  it  follows  that  the  local 
I'onu  is  in  this  n's])ect  the  better  sjiecii-s  of  the  two:  in  the  present  instance,  I  consider  that  the  tawny 
Charaxi'ii,  which  an-  locally  constant,  have  a  greater  right  to  specific  distinction  than  liave  many  of  the 
memlwrs  of  that  variable  Sulj-family  the  Ilfliconimv  which  arc  divided  (perhaps  rightly)  by  the  tint  of 
a  wing  or  the  colonring  of  an  antiMina.  I  liave  seen  a  vast  number  of  C'/inraxfJi  Pna///ioti,  collected  by 
one  gentleman  in  IJonibay,  and  none  of  them  exhibited  any  tendency  to  vary  ;  Mr.  Walker  purchased 
the  residuum  of  Mr.  Lowe's  Bornean  Collection  and  obtained  sixt<;en  male  specimens  of  C.  Ilurpax, 
which  I  have  examined  and  found  all  the  character  constant ;  in  many  of  the  Chinese  sliow-boxes  one 
sees  shattered  specimens  of  C.  Polijxvna  exhiliiting  no  variation ;  and  lastly,  all  Felder's  species  are  ea.sily 
recognizable  as  soon  as  specini'iw  -xy  ulitained  from  his  localities.

I  have  exuuiined  specimens  from  tlie  following  localities — ^,  §,  Brazil,  IJ.M.  and  Coll.  Dnice  ; 
<i  ,  Coll.  .Saunders  ;  Uio  Janeiro,  Coll.  Salvin  ;  Kio  Crande,  Coil.  Saunders;  (J,  Demerara  (limref),  B.M. ;

Ill- wit-son;  (J  ,  Ecuador,  Coll.  Buckley. 

This  very  beautiful  species  was  for  many  years  confouudeil  with  C.  Anjantc,  the  two  males  being 
very  simiLir ;  the  P.  Lurra  of  Fabiicius  was  supposed  to  be  the  female  of  C.  Philea,  an  insect  to  which 
the  Fabrician  description  in  no  way  applies;  the  diagnosis  runs  thus — "  Papilio  (D.)  Larra.  Alis 
r.  it\nidatis,  int«gurrimis,  fulvis,  margine  nigris  ;  suVjtus  pallid ioribus,  punctis  duobus  argenteis." 
M.  Menetries  (Bull.  Soc.  Imp.  de  Mosc.  5,  p.  296)  remarks — "  M.  Godart  in  the  sujijilement  p.  8((.') 
has  reunited  this  species  to  the  prece<ling"  (Col.  Philea)  "but  I  think  \vrongly,  for  in  very  many 
individuals  that  I  have  had  to  o.xaniine  at  one  time,  the  chariicturs  of  C.  Larra  have  always  licen 
constant." 

That  P.  Hcritilia  is  identical  with  C.  Larra  S  there  can  be  no  doubt,  for  Cramer  says  that  it  ha.s 
■  nil  the  undersurface  of  the  wings,  two  small  silvery  white  spots"  and  Herbst  adds  "  the  upperwings 
have  a  very  narrow  black  margin"  (upperside),  thus  distinguishing  it  from  C.  Argante  which  he 
describes  thus — "  All  the  wings  on  the  upjier  surface  reddish  yellow,  the  hind  margin  a  little  .spotted 
with  brown." 

In  Perry's  Arcana  there  is  a  very  amusing  description  of  the  female  under  the  name  of  Papilio 
Volcanica  which  he  -states  to  be  "  a  native  of  the  Kio  de  la  Plata  in  South  America,  ami  of  Peru,"  lie 
then  adds — "  The  back  is  yellow,  spotted  with  black  and  brown  spots,  irregularly  placed.  The  under- 
side coloured  with  tlie  most  splendid  orange  tints,  nuxed  with  red,  and  of  a  light  bro^vn  ;  small  and 
large  circular  pellets,  of  a  pale  brown,  and  scattered  unequally  with  black  netted  lines  which  cover  the 
.<kin.  The  whole  texture  of  this  curious  fly  exliibits  to  a  fanciful  and  capricious  mind  the  representation 
of  a  volcano  or  burning  mountain,  with  balls  of  fire,  and  burning  streams  of  lava,  rising  amongst  the 
smoke.  The  lower  fly*  resembles  a  soil  of  sulphur  tint  of  a  brown  ami  liurnt  appearance,  with  several 
orifices  placed  at  intervals.  If  imagination  can  be  indulged  so  far,  we  may  call  to  mind  the  description 
of  .Sir  "William  Hamilton,  in  his  travels  in  the  vicinity  of  Mount  Vesuvius,  at  the  time  of  an  eruption. 
Balls  of  fire  were  seen  spreading  over  tlic  illuminated  scene,  mounting  high  in  the  air,  and  falling  near 
to  his  feet.  Elvers  of  red  hot  lava,  running  in  red  lines,  were  stopped  for  some  time  by  a  valley,  then 
taking  its  course  through  lakes  and  pools,  till  it  arrived  at  last  at  the  sea,  and  buried  its  heat  in  the 
deep."

I  have  noticed  this  species  at  p.  lO'J  of  my  Catalogue  of  Fabrician  lli\irnal  l^pidopteni :  .Mr. 
W.  11.  Kdwaiils  of  W.  Virginia  having  decided  in  his  liuttertlies  of  X.  America  tliat  it  is  nnipicstionably 
an  Anjijiiiii"  allieil  to  A.  IJi'iint,  notwithstanding  the   important  discrejianeies  wliicji  Heer  points  out. 


12S  lAMII.V    NVMI'lIAI.in.l-. 


'I'liat  it  may  hoar  soiiKi  rlistnnt  rulationshii)  lo  A.  Dlmia  is  quite  possible,  but  tliat  it  is  "  [ilaiiily  an 
AnjyiwU"  \a  <\\\\iQ  another  thing;  to  my  miiul  it  is  jilainly  a  I'(iHfj*w/,  probably  a  ./(/«"///'/  near  to 
./.  Iliilniiia  (see  fig.  G) ;  and  I  think  some  points  in  I  leer's  description  (of  whieh  Mr.  ]>hvaiils  takes  no 
notice)  are  very  important,  as  evidencing  its  near  relationship  to  J.  Iliihiiiin  rather  than  to  A.  Diaint. 
He  says — "liings  des  Randes  bemerken  wir  ein  Keilie  (nemlich  G)  von  riindiii,  hellen  Flecken  und 
zwar  liegt  jc  zwischen  zwei  Ding.sadern  ein  soldier  Fleck,  welclie  das  ganze  Keld  zwischen  ilen  Adi-rn 
auslullt.  ]■>  reicht  die.ser  lielle  Fleck  nicht  liis  zum  Fliigelrande,  wolchcr  wieder  ilunkler  graubraun 
gefiirbt  i.st.  In  der  Mitte  Jedes  Fleekens  legt  ein  schwarzer,  runder  Punkt ;  oh  dieser  noch  eiiien 
\veis.sen  Aiigeiipunkt  besessen  habe  oder  nicht,  ist  nicht  mit  Sicherheit  zu  ernihteln,  doeh  ist  es 
wahrscheiidich,  indem  wenigstens  bei  zwei  die-ser  Punkte  in  der  ^litte  eine  kleine,  hellei-e  Stelle 
wahrznnehnien  ist.    Diese  hellen  Aiigentleekeii  .scheinen  von  keincni  schwarzen  King  eingel'asst  zii  sein." 

The  ocelli  are  well  .'ihowii  in  lleer's  figure,  but  in  the  wo<idcuts  by  Lycll  and  I'jlwanls,  whieli 
have  in  other  respects  been  made  nuicli  darker  than  the  original,  the  inilication  of  the  lower  edge  of  tlie 
ocelli  has  been  omitted  altogether,  and,  consequently,  the  resemblance  to  the  six^cies  of  Jinwuin  is 
rendered  less  evident.  I  think  it  just  jios.sible,  from  the  great  resenililanee  which  I'.  A/turiini  of  Ileer 
beai's  to  the  under.^urface  of  J.  llediiiiia,  that  it  is  flic  reverse  of  /.  Pbitu. 

In  ciiiiehuling  my  observations  on  these  three  butterflies,  I  would  express  my  thanks  to  Mr. 
Charleswurth  for  the  use  which  he  has  jierniittc'd  me  to  make  of  his  highly  interesting  novelty,  and  for 
the  opportunity  whidi  he  li.is  thus  given  me  of  illustrating  my  [irevious  remarks  on  the  two  s]i<'cies 
described  bv  lloisduval  ami  Heer.

Much  confusion  I'orinerly  aro.sc  between  this  sjiecies  and  the  Indian  C.  Cnirnl,-,  on  account  of  the

••  I  havi-  no  doubt  this  is  the  Puii.  Utatini  of  Cramer  ;  it  is  found  only  in  Brazil,  and  lia.s  been 
erroniously  eonsiden-d  by  Codart  and  Latreille  as  a  variety  of  C.  Jiifjurthiim,  an  Indian  insect,  and 
which  in  fact  is  not  in  it--!elf  a  .sjtecies,  being  no  other  than  the  female  of  C.  Alr.miiniv,i  ;is  an  attentive 
examination  of  both,  collected  in  .Tava  by  Dr.  Horsfield,  enabled  me  to  ascertain."

The  form  C.  Jiuisiliint/ii  cannot  rank  as  a  species,  a  complete  transitional  .series  in  Mr.  Salvin's

Dr.  Boi.sduval's  premature  conclusion  resiiecting  tliis  species  has  been  tlie  eau.se  of  cousidendde 
c()nfusion.  Poey  (in  the  Hist.  Nat.  de  Cuba,  1,  p.  196,  1851)  publishes  the  following  remarks:— 
"  Mr.  Boisduval  has  referred  to  the  female  of  this  s])ecies  (C.  Orhis)  the  Gifhix  Gchtrtiami  of  Swainson; 
lie,  however,  retains  my  name,  whicli  is  later,  placing  that  of  Swainson  in  the  synonymy  ;  tlie  authority 
of  Mr.  Boisduval  is  of  the  greater  weight  because  he  is  one  of  those  who  have,  in  our  time,  been  most 
indefatigable  in  the  study  of  th(^  Lejiidopt(^ra,  and  1  suspect  gooil  reasons  have  not  been  wanting  for  his 
acting  as  he  has  done;  tlie  l'oIl<iwing  have  occunvd  to  me.  There  are  many  species  of  the  Eiilmlf  and 
Orlm  group  whoso  females  do  not  exhibit  any  dilference,  and  the  species  can  only  be  satisfactorily 
di.stinguished  when  one  knows  the  male  :*  I  my.^elf,  if  unable  to  shew  the  male,  female,  caterpillar,  and 
chry.salis,  cuuld  not  .se]iaratc  (Mi/k  from  Kiilii//c.      'I'liis  may  be  seen   in  the  Piiiiihiik,  mIiIcIi  Swain.son 

*  No  statement  more  surprising  than  this  could  liave  been  made  ;  the  EuhuU  and  Orhis  giouj  s  being  quite  dis- 

linet,  and  tlie  males  tlirmigliout  the  genus  licing  far  more  similar  than  the  females. — .\.  G.  B.

of  Swainson,  thougli  brilliant  in  hue,  are  not  much  like  the  natural  colourinf; ;  tliis  is  what  Boistluval 
justly  observes  in  the  G18th  i)a},'e  of  his  HLstory  of  LopiJopt«ra,  and  one  may  notice  it  in  the  manner 
in  which  the  curveil  lines  of  atoms  aiv  shewn  on  the  under-siirface  of  his  C.  Godartiana.  If  indeed  we 
could  have  a  {Guarantee  that  the  original  is  like  what  !Mr.  Swainson  lias  painted,  wi'  shoid'l  be  able  tfi 
•(-•■sert  that  it  is  a  distinct  sijecies. 

"  I  am  ijjnonint  of  the  habitat  of  Gixlurtldiia,  and  if  the  autlmr  did  mention  it  I  forgot  to  inukc 
A  utjte  of  it  wlii'H  his  work  was  at  my  disposiil  ;  if  it  shoidd  turn  out  to  be  Asiatic  like  his  Ponwii't  w.' 
should  then  have  another  n-ason  for  iloubting  its  identity  \rith  C.  Orbix." 

I  have  quoted  tlie  above  remarks  to  shew  how  carelessly  and  unfairly  an  author  max  U:  criticised 
by  those  who  are  ignorant  of  his  species;  I  suppose  few  more  accurate  draughtsmen  ever  existed 
than  Swainson.  JJr.  Thon,  in  a  highly  commendatory  notice  of  the  "  Zoological  Illustrations"  (Entom. 
Arch.,  Vol.  I.,  p.  89,  IH29),  justly  remarks  that  tliis  work  is  "splendid  auf  schonstes  Velinpapier 
gednickt  und  mit  Farbe,  wie  wir  Deutsche  wenig  sehen,  rein  und  lebhaft  sorgfiiltig  coloiirt,  keinem 
•hiiUchiii  AVi'rke  vergleichbar,  ausser  einem  Exemplar  der  Insekten  lielustigungen  von  Ri'iwh  Hand." 

Dr.  lioisduval's  supposition  has  been  boldly  ailopted  by  Dr.  Herrich-SchafTer  (Corr-blatt,  i».  Ifi'J. 
u.  3,  1864).

In  all  probability,  when  we  know  more  of  the  early  stages  of  the  above  four  genenx  they  will  be 
found  to  ditfer  considerably  ;  a  comparison  of  the  pupa  of  C.  florella  with  those  of  C  P/iilea,  P.  minn^- 
I'l  and  A.  OrhiK  reveals  sutficieiit  differences  to  suggest  non-affinitj\ 

*  The  genus  Pliabe,  used  in  C'ulcoj>lera,  is  more  recent. 

t  This  gvnas  not  hnving  been  pn-viously  adopted,  it  is  allow,il)le  to  take  any  of  the  ajKrii's  cited  as  the  type  :  I 
therefore  take  one  from  the  centre  of  the  genus.

Tlie  Genus  Tmohis  will  doubtless  eventually  have  to  be  subdivided  ;  many  of  the  species  being 
cvidcntl}'  not  strictly  typical :  however,  as  I  have  not  time  at  present  to  examine  critically  the  whole  of 
the  Tliichiid  group  of  the  Th<-clin<e,  I  have  jjrovisionally  contented  niy.se,]f  with  the  few  genera  created 
by  Hiibner,  some  of  which  differ  so  strikingly  in  ncuratiou,  palpi,  auil  dtlur  inipnrtant  generic  cha- 
racters, that  it  is  strange  tliat  they  .should  v\n  have  been  ]ilaced  together. 

(ienera  so  apparent  to  the  eye,  botli  in  marking  and  lorni,  as  Panthiades,  AtlideK,  TherituK.  an<l 
Mitlinis  are  ciisily  separated  :  the  most  curi(nis  thing,  however,  is  that  our  British  Lepidoptorists  liave 
never  discovered  the  palpable  structural  dilference  between  'Ilicdd  and  Strynwii,  whilst  at  the  same 
time  Ihi'V  have  kept  as  distinct  such  genera  a.s  Vuvckhh  and  Grapfn.

Fabricius  dcscrilied  tlie  gi'nus  in  his  Kntomologia  Systcniation,  vol.  iii.,  flloss.  1,  p.  325  (1793)  ami  gave  ho  li/pr, 
but  used  the  following  words  in  his  ileseription — *' Antenmv  elavii  elongnt;i,  s;ipius  uncinata  "  ;  these  words  at  oiue  lix 
the  type  as  soniewliere  amongst  the  Ile.ijKricc  urbicola;  (notwithstanding  the  fact  that,  in  his  Systenia  Glossatorum, 
Kiibricius  refers  it  to  the  rurahs);  the  Uesjicria  of  Cuvier  has  for  its  type  il.  Malru-  (us  Mr.  Crotoh  has  pointed  out 
<  'ist.  ICnt.  p.  62)  ;  but  Pi/rgus  Maiv(c  (of  all  the  ffc.i]>eri<i  urbicola;)  is  about  the  worst  to  have  ehosen  as  the  type,  for  it 
r/')/'.v  Hoi_/f«  the  Fabrician  description  ;  therefore  it  is  clear  that /". -l/rt/i'tt;  could  not  have  crossed  the  mind  of  Fabricius 
wlien  he  penned  his  description,  and  cannot  be  his  tyjie  :  later  authors  have  referred  the  ilark  coloured  species  of 
J'liiii/ihilu  and  Cari/stns  to  JlcajKrin,  evidently  taking  ff.  E-icIainatioiis  as  the  type,  it  being  the  first  s]H-cips  which  he 
desi-ribes  under  his  urbicola,  but  as  II.  Exclamalionis  turns  out  to  be  an  Jftuunf  and  not.  as  fornieily  sui>posed,  a

redescribeil ;  \ntli  sucli  localities  ami  without  examples  of  the  Chilian  species  to  compare  with  them,  it 
was  iin|)ossihle  to  f^uess  that  they  could  be  the  species  describetl  by  IJlanchard  iV:  fJucrin  :  Suli/nif 
fn'gfiii  of  lUancliai'd  is  a  distiuct  s]>ecies  and  may  be  named  <S.  Rcdii. 

The  genus  IStihomnrji/id  is  interniediati^  in  cliaracter  between  E/iiia  and  Pedal iodi's,  from  the 
former  it  differs  in  having  the  lower  discu-cellular  of  secondaries  obliiiue,  with  a  slight  central'angle  : 
in  El  ilia  it  is  transverse  and  has  a  very  acute  angle  in  the  centre  :  in  Pedal  lodes  it  is  carried  stniighf 
across  transversely  without  any  angle,  consei|uently  this  veinlct  is  in  Pudaliudri^  considerably  sbnrlcr 
than  in  the  two  others.
